Donating an organ generally has lasting, long term consequences for the donor. Childbirth, on the other hand, typically results in none of those.

- etchalon 4y ago… are you under the impression child birth doesn't have long term consequences on a person's body and health?
- happyopossum 4y agoGenerally speaking, for the vast majority of mothers, childbirth does not have long term negative physical consequences. It can, and I have experienced one of those, however it is the exception, and not the rule.
- etchalon 4y agoYour definition of "negative" must be fairly specific.
- som 4y agoSource? Generally speaking, for the vast majority of HN commenters, authoritative statements on the consequences of childbirth for mothers should be taken with a grain of salt .. given as much credence as you would a third-party anecdote from someone who's closest connection to the source material is a daughter, partner, sister or their own mother. You may be the exception here, but going by the numbers I would expect not.
- ilikehurdles 4y agoOf all the detached, disgusting hn libertariantard comments on these topics, this may win for being the most detached.
- somishere 4y agoLol. Edit: to be clear, in my experience childbirth (and what comes after) has undeniably lasting, long term consequences for the "donor" / mother. Not to mention the immediate family, broader community, society at large, even the environment. Certainly more so than any organ donation (in my country at least these tend to occur in the moments surrounding death). To me, the parent comment seemed so removed from reality that a lol summed it up :)
